Trident

1. Seated Mother

I am Mare, Virgin Mother,

Oceanic Love,

stampeding waves,

Pieta rocking like a horse

to the lullaby of the moon,

My dark blue mantle

netted, knotted,

rune-starred night.

2. Dancing Virgin

I am Mermaid, Iamanja!

My weaving rivers stream

through your imagination,

mountains My earthy breasts,

My ocean tail,

part dream, part whale,

My breathing waves.

My dancing never rests.

My beauty,

never captured in a cage,

undulates delight.

3. Transformer

And if I rage, ageless,

storm and moan,

envisioning,

remembering

ancient Crone,

yet I shall again be Maiden,

elusive, fresh, and true,

surprising, arising ever new!
